ChIP Validated ChIP-Seq Validated Western Blot Validated Dot Blot Validated

Application Notes

Applications Validated by Active Motif:
WB*: 1:500 - 1:2,000 dilution

*Note: many chromatin-bound proteins are not soluble in a low salt nuclear extract and fractionate to the pellet. Therefore, we recommend a High Salt / Sonication Protocol when preparing nuclear extracts for Western blot.

Immunogen

This Histone H4 dimethyl Arg3 (H3R3me2s) antibody was raised against a peptide containing dimethyl Arg3 (symmetric) of human Histone H4.

Buffer

Purified IgG in PBS with 30% glycerol and 0.035% sodium azide. Sodium azide is highly toxic.

Histone H4 dimethyl Arg3 symmetric pAb tested by Western blot.
Western blot performed using Histone H4 dimethyl Arg3 symmetric pAb at a dilution of 1:2,000. Lane 1: Nuclear extract from Raji cells (20 µg). Lane 2: Nuclear extract from HeLa cells (20 µg).

Histone H4 dimethyl Arg3 symmetric pAb tested by dot blot analysis.
Dot blot analysis was used to confirm the specificity of Histone H4 dimethyl Arg3 symmetric pAb for dimethyl-arginine 3 of histone H4. Peptides corresponding to the immunogen and related peptides were spotted onto PVDF and probed with Histone H4 dimethyl Arg3 symmetric pAb at 1:2,000. The amount of peptide (picomoles) spotted is indicated next to each row.
Lane 1: unmodified Arg3. Lane 2: dimethyl-Arg3 H4 (symmetric). Lane 3: dimethyl-Arg3 H4 (asymmetric). Lane 4: monomethyl-Arg3 H4. Lane 5: unmodified Arg26 H3. Lane 6: monomethyl-Arg26 H3. Lane 7: dimethyl-Arg26 H3 (asymmetric). Lane 8: dimethyl-Arg26 H3 (symmetric). Lane 9: dimethyl-Arg2 H3 (asymmetric). Lane 10: dimethyl-Arg2 (symmetric). Lane 11: dimethyl-Arg8 H3 (asymmetric).

Background

Histone H4 is one of the core components of the nucleosome, the basic building block of chromatin. Histones are subject to a variety of chemical modifications, including post-translational modifications of the histone proteins and the methylation of cytosine residues in the DNA. Reported histone modifications include acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitylation, glycosylation, ADP-ribosylation, carbonylation and SUMOylation; these modifications play a major role in regulating gene expression. The methylation of histones can occur on two different residues: arginine or lysine.

Symmetric dimethylation of histone H4 at arginine 3 (Arg3), catalyzed by the PRMT methyltransferases, is associated with transcriptional repression. Histone H4 dimethyl Arg3 symmetric methylation (H4R2me2s) is catalyzed by PRMT5 and PRMT7.

Positive Control

Active Motif's HeLa nuclear extract (Catalog No. 36010) can be used as a positive control for Histone H4 dimethyl Arg3, symmetric antibody.
